Sweeper Cover Crochet Pattern Using T Yarm

It's been a while since i came up with a pattern, so here's one for a sweeper cover. Mine is based on a Swiffer sweeper. I hate buying those cleaning pads, and hope they stay in place with those push-in-place things that are supposed to hold the pad.
Anyway, heres a pattern for one that you can wash dry and reuse!

How To Make Tee Shirt (T-Yarn) Yarn From Old T Shirts

Let's face it, yarn is getting expensive. I wanted to find a way to save money and I even managed to accomplish some recycling.I have made some great items like totes trivets & rugs from old cotton t shirts that i purchased from my local thrift store.(sales proceeds go to area food banks-another plus) Here I will explain how you can make T Yarn . Be warned, i got a nasty blister on my thumb when i first started this. What i did later on that helped was to actually wrap some t yarn around the thumb handle of the scissors. The added cushion helped a lot. You need a good sharp pair of scissors!

Work in Progress

Here's a new rag rug i'm working on. It's a round one made with cotton t shirts. I hope to have it finished tomorrow. I will finish it off with a solid black trim. The indoor lighting isn't that good. The colors are much more vivid, but it gives you an idea.

Turtle Table Rag Rug Trivet

My own original design.
This cute turtle trivet is made the same way as my rag rugs. It's made from recycled t-shirts which were purchased from my local thrift store that supports the area food banks and charities. It would be great to use under plants,or use it on your table for hot or cold items. Kids would love to use it as a placemat, save the table from those little "oops".
When not in use, you can hang it up by it's looped tail.

My Crochet Today- A "Milk Bowl" Recycle Project

First I have to explain how I made this.

I took approximately fifty plastic wrappers I saved up from gallons of milk. I then cut them into thin strips and connected them like a rubber band chain. Then I crocheted them into a bowl. It measures 5 inches tall x 5 inches wide.

I call it the milk bowl, although it really won't hold liquids.

Crochet Recycled Bed Sheets Teddy Bear

Instead of making a rag rug, I decided to try to make a rag teddy bear. I crocheted it with sheets and made a matching scarf. I trimmed the scarf with a pretty thread border.It's stuffed with leftover scraps of the sheets and old shirts. It's pretty solid and weighs a few pounds. About 16 inches tall.
What would you call it? I was thinking Bed Sheets Bear or Raggy Bear

I got another Treasury
